[MOSAIC] Dyslexia

Kathleen,
There is a book called Overcoming Dyslexia that is very good. The
author is Sally Shayvitz. I agree with the other posters. Letter
reversals are very common. They do not always and in most cases do
not indicate dyslexia. In most cases the reversals stop between 2nd
and 3rd grade.
